Transportation Services Inventory

We all need to get places and organizations often need to move people or products. Entire organizations are based around moving and shipping products or transporting people to different destinations. In order to do so efficiently and effectively requires quality drivers, operators, and managers in order to ensure products or people are delivered on time and in good condition. Some people cannot handle working alone and are not suited for cross-country driving or some people may not be very dependable and have a tendency to miss deadlines. Characteristics such as these are based in a person’s personality and through personality assessment, organizations can identify people likely to succeed in transportation service roles. AAI has developed the Transportation Services Inventory, a personality assessment that identifies those individuals who possess the necessary characteristics to be effective in transportation roles.
